Welcome to the smashfinland.com forum. The purpose of the forum is mainly to function as a platform for the Finnish Super Smash Bros. tournaments and events and the discussions to be had about said games. Smash Finland Ry is a registered association that supports the tournaments held in Finland and gives credibility to the scene. Joining is possible for everyone and it is voluntary. The joining fee is €10 for the passing year and the money is spent directly on expenses that come from organizing tournaments. For the time being, one can only join during tournaments. The benefits include reduced tournament fees.

Rules of the forum
Because the forum’s purpose is to function as a platform for tournaments and events, it is important for it to be appropriate and to be able to be taken seriously. Posting of everything that’s NSFW/K-18, illegal, racist, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate material is strictly forbidden. Humor and jokes are allowed (and recommended) so long as they aren’t taken too far. The moderators have a right and a responsibility to delete inappropriate messages and threads.

Personal chats already have their own platforms. Raising the amount of messages just for the sake of raising it is forbidden but on the off-topic area, however, it is allowed to discuss almost anything, as long as stays within good taste.
Trolling, shitposting and the like are forbidden. An example of this would be attaching an image that ruins the appearance of the forum.

Sharing other users’ personal data (full names, phone numbers etc.) is forbidden. However, in some extreme cases, it is not forbidden to ask for e.g. contact information via private messages. Event organizers may share their own information as they see fit but having some other means of communication in addition to the forums is recommended.
Tournament and game-specific threads must have either [Melee] or [Smash 4] added to them. Tournaments threads must also have include the date, place and country, if the event is held in a country other than Finland. Use the Finnish date; DD.MM.YYYY
Example: [Melee, Smash 4] Union XVI, Helsinki, 7.-9.

Use a prefix when creating a new thread. The community tag is meant for meetings, smaller events and the like.

The rules may change as time passes. The moderators are allowed to delete threads and messages they see inappropriate, even if they aren’t directly breaking the rules.
